Study Notes
- Bhaskara the Learned designed a perpetual motion machine in 1159 A.D.
- Perpetual motion machines violate the laws of thermodynamics.
- The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
- The second law of thermodynamics states that energy spreads out through processes like friction.
- Perpetual motion machines have been proposed with rolling balls, magnets, and capillary action, but none of them work.
- Even if a perpetual motion machine did not violate the first law of thermodynamics, it would still not work in the real world because of the second law.
- The search for a perpetual motion machine continues.
- New discoveries in the universe may force us to revisit the laws of thermodynamics.
- Quantum scales may have perpetual motion, but it is not yet confirmed.
- Our search for a perpetual motion machine seems to be the only truly perpetual thing.
